    Thank you for hosting another wonderful discussion. The history of the eastward Sefardi Caribbean Diaspora is fascinating. So pleased to be introduced to Rabbi Yehonatan Elazar. Whilst living in NY, I met a few Jewminicans. I look forward to hearing him speak again about their history! Hopefully, the synagogues in the DR will stream their services for a global audience.

    An Israeli friend of mine just got her Portuguese citizenship through Sephardic descent. Her maiden name is Attias, as in the grammar shown at 20:54. I also saw that name in of Ton Tielen's recent presentations. I'm guessing they may be her ancestors (or at least relatives to her ancestors). Cool!

    May I ask the talet shown left in 26:46 with the red background, to which family it belonged? I find interesting that it is similar to the Abreu family arms in Portugal, but with one extra golden figure. In Abreu they are actually wings. Thanks

    29:50 The image is not very clear (too small), but the coat of arms could be from the Costa family.

    Boa tarde. Maravilhoso tema. Obrigada. Mas, por favor verifique as porcentagens dos proprietários de Engenhos de cana de açúcar em Pernambuco, Brasil. Era a maioria, 90%.

    Thanks to Ton and David, and specially to Yehonatan Elazar for this presentation.
    This was a must presentation for all of you who are investigating about portuguese - sephardic jews. Very nice and straight forward.
    Sadly it is just a very brief introduction, and I encourage you to go on and do other like this one to educate us the descendants of Portuguese Jews.
    About the slavery, it's not a new thing in Judaism, just that the portuguese community continue to have slaves.
    In the Tora there is a non-jewish slave "Ebed Kenaani that must undergo circumcision, and ritual bath {tevila}) and the Ebed Ibri (jewish slave) there is also Ger Toshav (is a dweller that has to obey to certan rules, but without the same parameters of the Kenaani) , and the Ama Ibria.
    Every one of them have they halachot, and you can check them out in the Mishne tora of the Rambam for your convenience. This is not the kind of slavery that is known in the west, as a very cruel thing, but according to the Halacha, and when the non-jewish slave is set free he is a jew, he could be set free for multiple reasons that the Torah teaches us of course not to mistreat the slave. I'm not going to get into details here, and I'm not preaching slavery, but writing the facts.
    Nevertheless a sin is also to set them free for no reason as is stated in the Talmud gittin:
    "Rav Yehuda says that Shmuel says: Anyone who emancipates his slave violates a positive mitzva, as it is stated: “Of them may you take your bondmen forever” (Leviticus 25:46). This is a positive mitzva requiring that one subjugate slaves their entire lives. Therefore, it is prohibited to emancipate them."
    and I could go on, but what I wanted to show you is that is really prohibited to free them, and the Rabbi Farar that you quoted is right according to Halacha. And the word "pecado" is also used in the jewish world.
    Thanks!
